FOUND! Magnificent Beaded Pow Wow Regalia

Update, June 14: According to a Facebook post today, the missing regalia has been located and returned to Rose Olney Sampson. A nice, happy ending to this story as we head into the weekend.

This photo shows the gorgeous beaded regalia of Rose Olney Sampson, Yakama Nation. Sampson wore the regalia at the recent 22nd annual Tulalip Veterans Pow Wow, which was held May 31-June 2 at the Tulalip Resort in Tulalip, Washington.

Unfortunately, Sampson didn't leave the pow wow with her beautiful regalia. Instead, the item is believed to have been stolen--and she's hoping to have it returned.

I don't know anything about whom stole your garment and it is beautiful.
It saddens me to know that so many people you can't trust any more.
America people use to be trust worthy.
Hope you get your garment back without more troubles.
I hope and pray that American People can be trusted again.

One thing is for certain... if this lady's regalia was stolen, it was stolen by someone who does not believe in traditional ways. If they had an ounce of understanding, they'd know the harm that will befall them, or worse, their family... by their very act. It isn't much consolation... but we must offer prayers that no innocent family members will be harmed by such a shameful thief.

It breaks my heart to think of an elder being so disrespected, as to steal from them. We were raised knowing that we respect our elders. In today's world it's all about the Meth. Low life scum taking up precious air.

I pray that the regalia of Rose Olney Sampson, Yakama Nation will be returned in good shape. It is a shame that there is someone who disregard sactes thins that belong to a beautiful women of great wisdom. Be strong in God.I know that it will be returned.
